1998/99 - Moving On

? Adams

Well there was always a danger this might happen but I can't deny it's embarrassing. The Kylie 'Brains Trust' can't remember the first name of 'Adams' who played fifteen times for the club, fourteen as a starter, this season.

He was a full-back, won MVP once (against Highworth Plough) but that's all I've got, sorry.

Mike Goldsworthy

Nine starts, four sub appearances, one MVP and one Spoons for a player who only turned out for us this season. He was another one who mostly played as a full back too. Were we getting through them like Spinal Tap drummers?

Andy James

One start, in a win over North Swindon WMC, in midfield and a sub appearance replacing Coxy against Ghost Train. And then he was gone.

Alan Lunt

Big Al's final two appearances came in November and he signed off between the sticks in a 5-2 win over Plough Badbury.

He'd taken over the gloves nine games into our first season but injury and occasional lack of availability meant it was only 1996/97 when he had the lion's share of games in goal. Would also make his presence felt up front from time to time when we had more goalkeepers than outfield players some Sundays.

1994/95 - 11 games, three as sub - 1 MVP, 2 Spoons
1995/96 - 19 games, one goal - 3 MVP, 2 Spoons
1996/97 - 21 games, - 2 MVP, 2 Spoons
1997/98 - 7 games - 1 Spoons
1998/99 - 2 games

Steven Payne

I was surprised to see that 'Scholesy' only turned out for us this season. Did he return in the Gary Payne management years I wonder. Anyway, he was a super little midfield player and can consider himslef unlucky he was in the squad when we were very busy in those positions.

His final tally was 19 starts, four sub appearances and four goals with an MVP (v then employers Nationwide) and 2 Spoons.

Brian Woolford

Made his debut in the Luton Kenilworth Cup game and was a stalwart through the 5-a-side years. A near ever-present during the first three league seasons but already had a lot of miles on the clock after a decent youth career and injury plus subsequent fitness issues took their toll.

Moved into the assistant manager role this season but left the following year after becoming rightly hacked off with the attitude of certain players.

1994/95 - 21 games, one goal (v Stratton Red Eagles) - 4 MVP, 1 Spoons
1995/96 - 24 games, two goals (v AFC Purton and ISSC) - 1 Spoon
1996/97 - 26 games
1997/98 - 4 games - 1 Spoon
1998/99 - 1 game (as sub in a win over North Swindon WMC)

Was sent off at least once as well. I remember a poorly disguised handball somewhere. Possibly Ballard's Ash. There may have been others. I forget.
